A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Promises to Keep (PTK) is a queer, furry, safe-for-work (16+) visual novel. Please be warned that while entirely safe-for-work, PTK does feature themes of religious & familial trauma, injury, mental illness, minor body horror, and homophobia. Some scenes may not be suitable for individuals with epilepsy (but there are in-game warnings for these scenes). v0.8 is now available (Rofi & Theo Day 4, Day 3 for everyone else). This version has around 11 hours of content, featuring an original soundtrack of 25+ songs, 100+ beautifully drawn backgrounds and fully-illustrated CGs, and hundreds of unique character sprites.  Find us on Twitter and support us on Patreon for early game updates, exclusive content, art raffles, and if you’d like to be featured in PTK as a cameo!

A promise is the greatest, most significant thing anyone can make, in a reality where nothing is permanent. They are guarantees we make to one another, knowing that guarantees are fruitless; their existence contradicts the fleeting, temporary nature of our universe. Yet, they live on in the face of this futility.

So, what happens when the promises you make to yourself go cold? When your promises to others are left empty?

PTK follows the journey of a post-college snow leopard after returning to his childhood home. After a year of wishful thinking, living in the footsteps of his past and the childhood promises he has yet to fulfill, he's convinced there's nothing more for him here. Then, disaster strikes.

Join him in a story of deep self-discovery, reunion, and light-hearted romance as he grows with a vibrant group of individuals brought together by unlikely circumstances.

** Please note that all content is subject to change as the game undergoes further development, and that the current version may not fully represent the final game. **

The updated version of this game HERE

Just wondering is it possible to get an older version of the game that's still in english to see the sprite changes? Or would I need to go to the patreon for that🤔

I think they are available for free on patreon, but you will need account there

(1 edit)

Maybe I didn't look hard enough but I couldn't find it 😔

Hola Matix q haces aqui bro?

I’m not sure if I’ve asked this before, if I have, I'm sorry, but I'm really curious about a couple of things. First, could you provide an update on when the next patch for Hunter is expected to be released? Additionally, when can we anticipate further updates following that? 

I’m particularly interested in the Rofi route—will we regain our bed permissions? Also, are there plans to explore deeper interactions between Rofi and our character? For instance, it would be fascinating to see Rofi exhibit signs of jealousy from him towards us that Rofi's doesn't like what others are doing to us even if its nice or something gentle, Rofi might become jealous of us to what others do to us that Rofi want's to do it himself, or other types of jealousy scenes, and maybe Rofi being protective of us, or maybe experience a nightmare that showcases his vulnerability. 

What if there’s a scenario where we go with Theo on a shopping trip, leaving Rofi and the others behind? I think it would be engaging to see how Rofi's separation anxiety towards us plays out, with his worrywart instincts kicking in. More moments of comfort, such as extra cuddles, maybe nuzzles into the neck with the snout, maybe watching movies, or playing games together, having our own nightmare that Rofi can comfort us, even sleeping on Rofi without him knowing that we are sleeping, and maybe we could be drinking alcohol from Theo's bar like before but just spending some time with others and maybe just sitting down on the couch or something and we could be drunk and be a bit loopy and dizzy but okay and walk back upstairs and to Rofi's bedroom because we might be sleepy and tired and acting like something else like a cute silly puppy that we might accidentally confess something like for example that we "love" him or other secrets or something to confess to them about or just be really needy or something, could really highlight that bond.

Another intriguing idea could involve being lost outside. Imagine if we accidentally sleepwalk (which we never sleepwalked before) to an unfamiliar place, waking up without any sense of direction or a way to retrace our steps back to Theo's house. It could be a real survival challenge until we find our way back. Along the journey that we could try to find our way back to Theo's house, we might encounter some danger and get hurt. It would add depth to the story if either Theo, Rofi, or another character were to find us outside in the snowstorm and bring us home. 

Once we’re back and resting on the couch or Rofi's room on his bed (more likely to be in Rofi's bedroom on his bed sleeping or resting with our eyes closed till we hear or feel Rofi holding us as we either sleep or just rest our eyes), I can just picture Rofi rushing over to check on us, filled with concern about our well-being with some whimpers and whines and sobs and maybe tears with nuzzles in our neck with Rofi's snout and rubs and hugs. Overall, I am sorry for asking this I just wanted to share these ideas for you that I thought of for you to consider. 

By the way, would I have your permission to create a series recording of this game and include the download link in the description on YouTube on my channel?

I love those ideas and I can't imagine how long that took to type

My new goal in life, wait for rofis full route to release then complete it in every way

theo my beloved,,.,.,

Is it possible to run this on a chromebook?

Nope, unfortunately

nigga

Yes you can but It does require a fair but of work to run

Genuinely such a wonderful game! Rofi is my boi :3

Do I have to re-download the game each time a new version releases

yes

Dang, wouldn't that mean I have to re-read everything from scratch

Actually I wouldn't mind if that was the case, I've got nothing else to do after all 

at least for me normally my saves keep if I keep the old version installed then launch the new version make sure the saves are there then if they are delete the old version to free up storage space

Actually, you don’t need to. Unless something gets updated which breaks previous code. Saves from previous versions normally carry over in my experience.

You can copy over your save folder

is this tm/m or tm/tm? :)

Do you know any translation or version in Spanish?

I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH, THE ARTSTYLE, MUSICS, AND EVERTHING IS SO WONDERFUL!! X3

(+3)

Can't wait for V0.9, thank you guys for making this amazing game!

(+10)

I'm gonna be a little math nerd here and go on a number-based rant, I apologize in advance.

Ollie openly states he's 26. The protagonist answers that that's only 1 year older than him (so protagonist age is 25)
Rofi went to school with the protagonist, so the assumption of them being the same age is easy to make.
Artemis makes a point to say Theo is 30-something, and at some point I believe the protagonist even says Theo is around 10 years older (I remember reading that, but I can't be bothered to re-find it to check whether it's around 10 or exactly 10), so let's say Theo is 35.
While Artemis and Ollie met while Ollie was a junior, and Artemis only spent 1 year at college, we can't actually be certain of his age as Artemis is the only character that strikes me as "would take a gap year before going to college" kind of person. Maybe more than a year? All I know is that everyone except Theo is younger than 30.
Hunter got tutoring from Rofi during Rofi's final year at college, but I actually don't know how to use that for calculating purposes. Sounds to me like Rofi was already finishing college while Hunter was just starting, but I don't know how long did Rofi's biology major take. Hunter also doesn't strike me as a gap year kind of person, but I don't know much.
Using the in-game given info of Theo turning 17 in 2005, the earliest year the numbers make sense would be 2023 as the year the game takes place in.

Damm that lt is impressive hats of to you

Playing this game feels like how it must feel to go into Theo's home. Being warmed by the inviting hearth, feeling the heart thaw, and discovering the powerful feelings as the emerge. An instant classic. Funny, sentimental, beautiful. So comforting, but not afraid to touch upon difficult subject matter. I can't wait to find out what happens next and continue exploring the different character paths!

this truly is a home of romantic

Que mal que no ay tradución a español

I am glad I've finally made an account on this website. I've been a big fan of Furry visual novels for a few years now, but that was through YouTube. Now, I've finally taken the time to deeply allow the immersion to flow genuinely, I appreciate the experience even more then I already have.

However, that being said. Promises to keep is truly on another level entirely of it's own. The visual style, the setting, the diverse fun colorful cast, the genuinely inspiring theams of hope, friendship and optimism are heartwarming yet well-written. The fact that this all takes place during my favorite season, Winter is what really sold me from the beginning. I discovered it during January I believe 2 years back, I was with my brother during an awful snowstorm. Negative 2, freezing. This wonderful visual novel kept me happy after getting laid off and kept me smiling through it all.


I was ecstatic to recently discover it was available on Android and for FREE! I'm happy to say, Promises to keep was my first download without question. Sorry for my long-winded feedback, but I truly love this story. Promises to keep truly is a lovely experience. And I'm very thankful that I've finally been able to view and experience it first hand. Without a dought, truly my favorite Visual Novel of all time. <3

Hii, im trying to transfer data from my laptop to my phone, but the 10 digit code wont appear for me.
Anyone know how to fix this?

(+1)

This is an exceptional VN, I adore it. The whole cast is fantastic, but Theo is just so precious. Poor troubled boy. All of them having such interesting, unique traumas is very cool. I can't wait for more, huge props to everyone working on it, can't wait for more!

(+2)

WE are all playing this game

(+7)

WE NEED DAY FIVE FOR THEO RIGHT NEEEEOOOOOWWWWWW (but fr tho, please consider continuing theos route, bc i need to know more as soon as possible)

(+8)

Words can not express how much I truely love this Visual Novel this really has to be my favorite one of all time I wish I could support the patreon honestly out of 5 stars it gets 10 


May leakfast be the new word for a meal between breakfast and lunch and may Theo's door always stay open to all.

With every update I face a dilemma, whether to rush through the previous days and get to know the lore asap or to savour it and make the new update last as long as possible. I always end up choosing the second choice, though. It's just too good to skip through the past days. My beloved Theo... Goated update as always :)

(+7)

I also love the music soundtrack. Anyone who says they don't like it is lying. It. Is. Phenomenal.

Agree

YIPPEE

0.8 was amazing. but a bit shorter than rofis day 4. it feels like that for everything theo. i wish i could contribute once to like something because i simply cant pay on a monthly basis so if your team could set up anything like a paypal that would be appreciated :3
